New relatives
Blimey! My first cousin, on my mums side, and her husband, came to visit. They’re from Australia and came to England for his cousin’s wedding. Very lovely people.
Turns out, his family is from Ora in Cyprus, which is the same village as my dad. Mum went to school with his dad and we’re related somehow. Should find out how when they go back home.
Small world.
Got a date
Hospital called yesterday. 6 October has been booked for my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Only four weeks away!
Just waiting for the letter detailing what I need to do before and immediately after, how long I’ll be in for. Stuff like that.
Sleeve gastrectomy
Back at hospital to see the surgeon for my vsg. Just been weighed and I’ve lost 3kg in two weeks. Fabbo.
Doctor
He couldn’t find me! I sat where I was told and the doctor could find me. Admittedly, I was sat behind a thick door and round the corner from the consulting room, but even so, he should have been told where I was.
He asked a few questions about excercise and looked at my stretch marks.
The results from the sleep apnea test wasn’t to be found and the blood tests from May were equivicable so I had to have another one.
The wait was pretty short. Some bloke said he needed a blood test but they couldn’t do one cos he put hand cream on and the needles wouldn’t be able to go through! I want some if that cream.
Nothing was said about a date for the op and I did ask.
Before I left, I was given an appointment with the surgeon in two weeks. More waiting. Hope the underground is not on strike that day.
Even allowing for parking and driving to the station it’s half the price of national rail. About time Oyster cards could be used from harlow.
